I'll be glad when my mom and I go out there to my old high school to figure out why I'm not getting my diploma. There's a big confusion going on and that's why we're going out there. They should've sent it to me in the mail because I don't have an obligation. When we do, I'll be so happy and thank God for it. Then I can be able to apply to SGTC (South Georgia Technical College) and all of that other stuff I wanted to do when I get my diploma. My light source is about to run out so I better get on with the chappie.

Chapter 8: The Big Day

The Next Day

Early in the Morning before Day Break

Ayame sat by the window behind her dad in the middle of the van, because the last seat was taken up by her stuff that she was taking with her. Her mom sat in the passenger seat of course. "What time is it dad?"

"It's six o'clock exactly." He answered yawning.

Ayame stared outside her window into the darkness. All she could see was shadows of vehicles, trees, buildings, houses, poles, and she saw light poles on in the streets and in people houses. "Mom, why are you and dad dressed up for work at this time of day?"

"Because, when we get back to town it'll be time for us to go to work. All we have to do when we get back is swing by the house and pick up our briefcases we left behind at the house. Don't worry your grandparents on your dad side is at the house with your brother and sister." Then she looked back at her daughter.

"That's who car I saw pulled up to the house as we were leaving up the street." She thought.

Then Mrs. Kurosaki looked at her husband. "Did you call your parents and told them to leave our briefcases by the front door, so that I can grab them when I open the front door?"

Mr. Kurosaki's eyes got a little big. He made a painful face as he said, "I'm sorry honey I totally forgot." He took his cell phone out of the brace (A/N: Or whatever you call it. It's the thing that holds your cell phone when you have it hooked on your hip) that was on hip. "I'm going to call them now honey." Then he started dialing the number.

"You better call them. When I tell you to do something, you should do it right then and there."

"Dad is always forgetting things mom tells him to do. It'll be a surprise when he remembers it when she doesn't remind him." Sango thought as she looked at her parents. Then she looked outside the window to her right. "Well, all I can see from that one is total darkness." She thought. When her dad got off the phone, she looked at him and asked, "Are we going to make it on time dad?"

"Yes, as long as I take the shortcuts." He took a quick glance at Ayame by looking in the mirror (A/N: the one that's in the middle of the front window, so that you can look behind yourself) and then glanced back at the road.

"Man I'm so sleepy." Ayame thought. Then she put her head on the window, and started looking back outside her window into the darkness.

Meanwhile

Shippo sat on the passenger side of his dad's white truck. He tried to look on the back of the truck by looking in the rearview mirror. He adjust it all kinds of ways with the buttons on his door, but no matter what, all he could see was darkness. So, he looked at the rearview mirror and tried to adjust it back to the way it was before he started messing with it.

Mr. Anisawa took a quick glance at his son and then looked back at the road. "Will you leave that alone son."

"Yes sir just a minute."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you."

Then Shippo left it alone when he thought he had adjusted it right. "Are you sure none of my things are going to fly off the truck?" He asked as he looked at his dad.

"Yes I'm sure."

"Are you sure you're sure?"

"Yes I'm sure, I'm sure. Why do you ask?"

"Well…I'm having a bad feeling that you didn't secure the cover (A/N: not the kind of cover that goes on a bed but on a truck) tight enough.

"Oh I secured it tight enough. I double checked it before I took it for a test drive last night. I doubled checked it again before we left the house. If you hear anything, that's just the wind that's getting in under the cover. Don't worry son I've secured the cover and rope so tight to the truck, like they're stuck together like white on rice."

"Like white on rice?" Shippo asked as he gave his dad a strange look.

"What? What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing really, it's just that when you use it in a sentence when you're mad, it sounds really good and scary at times but, when you use it in a sentence to try and be funny it's just wrong."

"How wrong is it then?"

"That I'll pay you just a dollar (I don't know how much yen that is in Japanese money) to never use it in a sentence again to try and be funny."

Then they started laughing.

"What time is it dad?" He asked as he leaned forward to turn the radio on and find something good playing for both his dad and him.

"It's six fifteen (6:17)." Shippo had come across a station that he liked. "Leave it there if you don't mind."

"I don't mind." Then he sat back in his seat."

"I'm going to stop up here at by the store to buy us a cup of coffee."

"Okay and it's a good thing we stay no more than forty minutes away from my great, great aunt's house."

"Yeah I know that's right."

7:00 a.m.

At Great Uncle's Myoga's (A/N: I misspelled it in chapter 3) House

"I see that you guys mad it on time." Myoga said as he came down the stairs that are in front of his house. He still looks the same as a mosquito just like in the anime. The only difference is that he's taller, bigger, and human (minus the thing he sticks you with). His Kimono is just like Inuyasha in the anime but it's green instead of red. He's barefooted. He stopped on the very last step.

"Yes we did brother with the help of the shortcuts." Mrs. Kurosaki said as her and her husband and daughter got out of the van.

"He's your brother?" Ayame asked.

"Yes."

"But," Ayame said with a confused look on her face.

"You see your uncle and I are both great grandkids of your grandparents who died a century (100 years) ago along with their two daughters and son. They managed to save their other daughter and son." She said looking from and to her brother and daughter. Then she looked at her daughter and said, "Anyways, that's beside the point, I he wanted me to call him your great uncle because of that and it sounds more cooler and better than plane old uncle.

"That's more info than I expected." Ayame said blinking her eyes continuously while staring into space for a few seconds. Then she looked at her great uncle's feet and then looked up at him. "Why you don't have shoes on your feet uncle Myoga?"

He looked down at his feet and then looked at his niece and said, "Please call me Myoga and I left them in the house." Then he looked from her and to her parents. "Well," he said as he clapped his hands together. "That's enough talking about that. My wife and I will tell Ayame all she need and want to know about her pass ancestors and all of the vampire/demon slayers before her. Mostly my wife will do that." Then five kids around or older than Ayame's age came out of his house and stood to his left. He looked at them and said, "These are my other students and they will get your bags for you Ayame and take them to your room." The he snapped his fingers and told them to get to work. "Oh yeah Ayame," He said looking at her.

Ayame looked at her great uncle and said, "Sir."

"There's one more thing I almost forgot to mention. I don't want you to have any technology of any kind in your room because they'll only distract you and get in your way. That's why they'll take them to the storage room and put labels on them so that they won't get mixed up with the other students that are here before and after you."

Ayame looked confused and lost as she said, "Okay." She looked at the students who were getting her things out of the van. "It's a good thing that my cell phone is in my pants pocket and that I have it turned off." She thought.

Meanwhile

At Great, Great Aunt Yura's Mansion

Shippo and his aunt are walking through one of the halls of the North Wing of the mansion. She was taking him to his room. "I see that vampires do live for eternity and are immortals until they get killed by a vampire slayer." He thought. Then he looked at the paintings on the wall to his left. "These paintings look expensive Aunt Yura."

"They are expensive. Just matters of fact, just about all of the paintings you see in this mansion are expensive. There are some that are priceless, some are the originals, and there are some that are both." She looked at her great, great nephew from the corner of her left eye. "I see that I got a lot of work to do with him. My husband is luck that he only has to teach him the basic. I have to teach him how to hunt, fight and use his senses and basic instinct when he's in hunting and in battle." Then she looked in front of herself as Shippo was turning his head to look at her.

"How far is my room?"

"Not that far. It's riiiiight here." She said as she stopped at a door that's on her right, and it's the last door on that side. She opened the door for him and he went right on in. He turned around to face her. "I want you to unpack, change cloths, and come downstairs to the dinning room to eat breakfast with us."

"Who's us and I don't eat breakfast."

"What I mean as in us is that it's the other students who're her for the same reason, with my husband and I included. You have to eat breakfast because it's the most important meal of the day. Plus, if you don't eat breakfast, you wont' have the strength or energy to do what I have planned for you for the rest of the day. Trust me on that. You will need breakfast."

"Okay then."

As Yura was closing the door, she stopped it about halfway and then poked her head around the corner of the door. "Oh I hope you took a shower at the house cause if you didn't, and you took one now, you'll be way behind schedule. You don't want that to happen trust me." Then she closed the door.

"Oooookay, that's something else I have to trust her on." Shippo thought. Then he turned around and took a quick glimpse of his whole room. Then he stared at his bags and signed. "I hate it that she got my dad to take my technology and gadgets back home." He thought and sounding a little mad. "I have a feeling that today will be a long day." He thought. Then he went to unpacking his things.

A lot of things have been going on with me involved these pass few days. This week is going by so fast. Do you guys remember Yura? If not, she's Yura the Hair Demon. She popped up in my head when I was thinking of whom Shippo's great, great aunt should be. Oh yeah, sorry for having you guys wait so long for this chappie.
